• If the heating performance can no longerperform at a sufficient level due to auto-
matically stopping the engine, press the
ENG A-STOP OFF switch to deactivate
the ENG A-STOP system. (The engine
will automatically restart and the air con-
ditioning performanc e will be restored.)
• If the windshield and/or the driver’s side/ passenger side door windows are
fogged during automatic ally stopping the
engine, stop the ENG A-STOP system
and restart the engine. Then, turn the air
flow selector (3) to change the air flow to
the HEAT & DEFROST or DEFROST
position to defog the windows.
MaintenanceIf you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain opti-
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
and helps protect the internal components.
If your air conditioner is equipped with air
filters, clean or replace them as specified
in “Maintenance schedule” in the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion.
(For vehicles using “HFO-1234yf” refrig-
erant)
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFO-1234yf, commonly called
R-1234yf. R-1234yf replaced R-134a for
automotive applications. Other refriger-
ants are available, but only R-1234yf
should be used in your vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or
replace the R-1234yf with other refrig-
erants.
(Except for vehicles using “HFO-1234yf”
refrigerant)
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called
R-134a. R-134a replaced R-12 around
1993 for automotive applications. Other
refrigerants are available, including recy-
cled R-12, but only R-134a should be used
in your vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or
replace the R-134a with other refrig-
erants.

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
75RM4-01E
To w b a r sOnly use a tow bar that is designed to
attach to the chassis of your vehicle, and a
hitch that is designed to bolt to this tow bar.
We recommend that you use a genuine
SUZUKI tow bar (available as option), or
equivalent.Safety chainsAlways attach safety chains between your
vehicle and trailer. Cross safety chains
under the nose of the trailer so that the
nose will not drop to the road if the trailer
becomes separated from the tow bar. Fol-
low the manufacturer’s recommendation
for attaching safety chains. Always leave
just enough slack to permit full turning.
Never allow safety chains to drag on the
road.
Trailer lightsCheck that your trailer is equipped with
lights which meet local requirements.
Always check for the proper operation of
all trailer lights before you start to tow.Brakes
WA R N I N G
For vehicles equipped with the dual
camera brake support, if your vehicle
is used to tow a trailer, press the dual
camera brake support OFF switch
and turn off the dual camera brake
support. If not, unexpected acci-
dents related to the system being
turned on may occur.
NOTICE
Trailer towing puts additional stress
on the engine, drive train and brakes
of your vehicle. Never tow a trailer
during the first 960 km (600 miles) of
vehicle operation.
NOTICE
When towing by a vehicle with CVT
on a long steep hill, try to take some
rest on the way to prevent overheat
or damage of the engine or transaxle.
WA R N I N G
Never use a tow bar which attaches
to the axle or the bumper of your
vehicle.
WA R N I N G
Never attach safety chains to the
bumper of your vehicle. Secure con-
nections so that they cannot come
loose.
WA R N I N G
Never connect trailer lights directly
into your vehicle’s electrical system,
or electrical system damage may
occur.
WA R N I N G
If trailer brakes are used, follow all
instructions provided by the manu-
facturer. Never connect to the brake
system of your vehicle and never
take an electrical supply directly from
the wiring harness.

WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Be careful when overtaking othervehicles. Allow enough room for
your trailer before changing lanes,
and use turn signal lights properly
in advance.
• Slow down and shift into a lower gear before you reach long or steep
downhill grades. It is hazardous to
attempt downshifting while you are
descending a hill.
• Do not step on the brake pedal strongly. This could cause the
brakes to over-heat resulting in
reduced braking efficiency. Use
engine braking as much as possi-
ble.
• Because of the added trailer weight, your engine may overheat
on hot days when going up long or
steep hills. Pay attention to your
engine temperature. If the high
engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light (red color) indicates over-
heating, pull off the road and stop
the vehicle in a safe place. Refer to
“Engine trouble: Overheating” in
the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-
tion.
WA R N I N G
When parking your vehicle and con-
nected trailer, always use the follow-
ing procedure:
1) Apply the vehicle’s brakes firmly.
2) Have another person place wheel
chocks under the wheels of the
vehicle and the trailer while you
are holding the brakes.
3) Slowly release the brakes until the wheel chocks absorb the load.
4) Fully engage the parking brake.
5) Manual transaxle – turn off the engine, then shift into reverse or
first gear.
Auto Gear Shift – shift into reverse
or first gear and check the gear
position indicator in the instru-
ment cluster to make sure that the
transaxle is engaged in 1st or
reverse, then turn off the engine.
CVT – shift into “P” (Park) and
turn off the engine.
When starting out after parking:
1) Depress the clutch and start the engine.
2) Shift into gear, release the parking brake, and slowly pull away from
the chocks.
3) Stop, apply the brakes firmly and hold them.
4) Have another person remove the
chocks.

WA R N I N G
Take extreme care when working on
your vehicle to prevent accidental
injury. Carefully observe the follow-
ing precautions:
• To prevent damage or unintendedactivation of the air bag system or
seat belt pretensioner system, check
that the lead-acid battery is discon-
nected and the ignition switch has
been in “LOCK” position or the igni-
tion mode has been LOCK (OFF) for
at least 90 seconds before perform-
ing any electrical service work on
your SUZUKI vehicle. Do not touch
air bag system components, seat
belt pretensioner system compo-
nents or wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the cou-
plers are yellow for easy identifica-
tion.
• Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the fan and drive
belt. Even though the fan may not
be moving, it can automatically
turn on without warning.
• When it is necessary to perform
service work with the engine run-
ning, check that the parking brake
is set fully and the transaxle is in
Neutral (for manual transaxle or
Auto Gear Shift vehicles) or Park
(for CVT vehicles).
• Do not touch ignition wires or other ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an
electric shock.
•Be careful not to touch a hot engine, exhaust manifold and
pipes, muffler, radiator and water
hoses.
• Do not allow smoking, sparks, or flames around fuel or the battery.
Flammable fumes are present.
• Do not get under your vehicle if it is supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
• Be careful not to cause accidental short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly;
never pour them on the ground,
into sewers, etc.
